Imbuing us with the freshness of her lyrics and the color and magic of her beautiful voice, American-British pop-rock songstress Grace Angelique captivates body, mind, heart, and soul with her unique artistry that has made her a household name in the UK and beyond. Her music reflects real-life experiences and the struggles she or those close to her face daily, such as love, heartbreak, loss, and mental health. Her lyrics are vivid and very graphic, conjuring vivid images in the listener’s mind while the often danceable beats keep their bodies moving. If you are looking for something catchy and authentic within the realms of indie rock and pop, you will feel right at home with Grace’s music.
Angelique returns with an enchanting new anthem, “Maybe It’s Time,” inspired by a situation where one of her friends was involved with a guy who didn’t want to define their relationship but also didn’t want to be alone, essentially taking her for a ride. In this track, Grace adopts her friend’s perspective, emphasizing that maybe it’s time for the relationship to be defined.
The intro is idiosyncratic, reminiscent of a cassette-like radio playing, imbuing the song with a sense of unquestionable nostalgia that hits the listener right in the chest. The instrumentation then takes on a groovy rhythm that is both moving and lively, setting the scene for an irresistibly infectious jam.
The vibrant nature of the instruments, with haunting riffs adding to the compelling sound, challenges Grace’s softly angelic vocals to keep up, and they do so beautifully.
Another enchanting quality of the track is its undoubtedly memorable chorus, which is engaging and makes this a sing-along, unforgettable jam.
“Maybe It’s Time” showcases that Grace is capable of unleashing her powerhouse vocals and runs when she allows herself.
For me, “Maybe It’s Time” deserves a 7/10 for its relatable lyricism, palpable catchiness, and the obvious passion put into it.
